The Norwegian Olympic curling team has busted out the very best Valentines pants you’ve ever seen.
However, it is teammate Christoffer Svae that apparently mans the pants these days.
« This is because of Valentine’s Day, » Ulsrud said after the team’s 6-4 loss to Japan. « So [Svae] who plays second on the team, he is the master of the pants. So I guess I have a big bag of pants this week. He always tells me it depends on his mood before the game. Pretty much whatever he gives me, I play in. »
« The team enjoys it, having these colorful pants, » the Norway curling team’s spokesman Lars Otto Bjørnland told CNN in 2014 during the Sochi Games. « People find it very exciting to see the team in these trousers. »
Bjørnland is correct. Watching curling is very stressful. We know everyone involved is trying hard and doing a great job but we’re not sure how or why anything is happening. These pants bring us peace. More! Give us more pants!
